Can’t be too disappointed in this one
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
To be honest, I’m not overly disappointed in the loss. Yeah, we had a big lead and the momentum, but our guys played well and I’m just not eager to point fingers. There’s no such thing as a good loss, true. But we showed great character and gave West Virginia all they could handle. The thing is, though, you got to find a way to win it in the fourth quarter and we fell short — again.
Taylor Bennett played lights-out. I didn’t expect 326 yards passing with 3 TD passes. Unbelievable performance. I guess we know who our starting quarterback is next year.
Great call with the sneaky onside kick after the half. That was gutsy. I was not too keen on WVU getting the ball back in the second half, so that was an interesting twist in the game – especially since we scored on the possession.
If this was Calvin Johnson’s last game in a Tech uniform, then he ended his career in phenomenal fashion. Once again, he made some marvelous catches in coverage and pulled down a couple of nice TD passes. He’s the best receiver I’ve ever seen, and he can consider me a fan for life. You think the Falcons can trade up for him… please?
I hope we see another year of Tashard Choice. He is legitimately a top-5 back in the country. He’s got that great combination of size, speed, and agility that makes NFL general managers drool.
Hard to point fingers at the defense. We all expected Pat White to run rampant and he did. You can’t tackle what you can’t see -– he is incredibly quick. The turning point was the horrible field position that we gave up in the second half.
